Creative synthesis is a continual design and development process. You will create a way to demonstrate your findings that answer your compelling question in new and original ways.




The process will require:

  • Complex thinking about the content and how to bring together information from print and digital texts
  • Drawing inferences
  • Summarizing
  • Making new connections as you answer your question for the final product
  • Creating a storyboard to answer your compelling question for your video product

Feel free to gather what is needed to support your product:

  • necessary music
  • narration
  • images (both still images and video clilps can be used; your moving images (video) can be up to 10 seconds per clip.


Steps:

  • Begin your creative synthesis by reviewing your group of resources.
  • When you have planned your message and your content then construct a storyboard to organize your resources in a way that produces a product that is intellectually, visually, and technically of high quality.
  • Create a storyboard, script (with narration), and shot (still shots and video clips) list. Your storyboard will help you with the writing of your script (with narration) and your shot list.
  • Produce your video with images, clips, transitions, sound effects, and music.

Remember:

There is a difference between simply capturing video footage and designing and making a video production.

Capturing video footage requires being able to use a camera.

Creating a video production requires a range of skills including critical analysis about audience, advance planning of different scenes, script writing, deliberate choices about content, and considerations about copyright.
